Pregnant stabbing suspect faces judge

Story here. Excerpt:

'PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - A Massachusetts woman who's seven months pregnant faced a judge Thursday on charges she stabbed three other people in Providence after an argument.

The stabbing happened at the Manton Heights Housing Project on Wednesday. Nicole Bruton, whose pregnancy is considered high-risk, is charged with three counts of felony assault for the incident.

"This defendant produced a knife from under her shirt, and which time she stabbed and slashed these three individuals," said prosecutors.
...
Her attorney said in court Thursday that Bruton, a mother of three, has been the emergency-room coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for two years.
...
The judge set bail at $15,000 cash or surety. Bruton's fiancé said he plans to post bail.'

The article says she has 3 kids already. I wonder what the excuse will be: "pre-partum depression"? "Pre-partum insanity", maybe? It also says she is (well, was) the ER coordinator at Mass Gen. What, she was trying to drum up business as a favor to the local Providence hospitals?

Prediction: Stress management seminars, time served, next case.
